It works for clipboard paste here, but not for PRIMARY paste. conversation-panel.c:copy_text maybe should also update PRIMARY.
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2006-09-16 19:18:53 UTC 
With my HEAD version, URL in topic bar seems to be buggy.
The mouse pointer doesn't change into a hand and right click on it don't open the URL context menu.

Any idea?
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2006-09-17 12:21:16 UTC 
Ignore comment 1, I was testing something different.
